Just bought my PA12 and first post so take my advice for what's it's worth. My son and I both use Dragonfly 4's and are happy with them. They are very easy to install on the Pro Anglers and all I had to do was grind of the two prongs on the transducer cover and the Raymarine transducer fits very nicely.

I had a Jackson Big Tuna before and the Raymarine transducer was mounted on the RAM side arm. Install on the PA was a breeze and I used a Dremil tool to take the plastic prongs off the transducer cover. The PA has all of the holes pre drilled to running so all of that is already done.

I ran the Lowrance GEN2 HDS9 last season, but switching to the new Lowrance ELite Ti7 this season. I used the RAM arm for the StructureScan transducer. Scotty just cam out with a transducer mount that I've switched over to. The RAM unit had a lot of movement and it took a few minutes to get the transducer level every time. With the Scotty unit, I will just have to e drop it down and it should be in the correct position.

Here is the RAM arm.

Here is the New Scotty...I'm still waiting for my new Lowrance Elite Ti7 with the TotalScan transducer to come in.

I ordered this one which I think is the same one.

You might try promotion code FB2016b8air which got me 10% off 4 days ago when I ordered.
